Correct Answer: 97


Solution : Given:
7, 11, 20, 36, 61, ?

Add the square of the consecutive numbers starting from 2 in each number to obtain the next number.
7 + (2) 2 = 7 + 4 = 11
11 + (3) 2 = 11 + 9 = 20
20 + (4) 2 = 20 + 16 = 36
36 + (5) 2 = 36 + 25 = 61
61 + (6) 2 = 61 + 36 = 97

So, the missing number is 97. Hence, the first option is correct.
